Description
Mulk Raj Anand's socially passionate, formally accomplished novel—following Munoo, a young hill boy whose journey through the exploitative labor systems of British India constitutes one of the most devastating indictments of class and colonial oppression in the history of Indian fiction—is one of the foundational works of Indian literature in English. Written with the moral urgency and the genuine compassion for his characters that made Anand one of the architects of the Indian English literary tradition, this is essential reading for every student of Indian literature and social history. A landmark work.
